Integration of Industry and Education, Supporting the Development of New Models of Artificial Intelligence

At present, we are in a brand new era of intelligence, where artificial intelligence and robots are leading the trend and changing the world's economic development model. On May 10th, guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and hosted by the People's Government of Zhejiang Province, the 5th China Robot Summit and Intelligent Economy Talent Summit with the theme of "Integrating Knowledge with Action, Integrating AI and Robots" was held in Yuyao, Ningbo.

At a forum on cross-border dialogue related to artificial intelligence, Zhang Jianwei, academician of the Hamburg Academy of Sciences, professor at the University of Hamburg in Germany, and director of the Multimodal Technology Research Institute of the Department of Information Science, mentioned: "In this era, on the one hand, we see a huge demand for the field of artificial intelligence in daily life, such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment. On the other hand, we see that new artificial intelligence has solved many practical problems with the continuous iteration of technology." According to data provided by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), it is expected that by 2020, the core industry of artificial intelligence will exceed 150 billion yuan, driving the scale of related industries to exceed 1 trillion yuan. However, facing the huge market prospect, China's artificial intelligence field still has the dilemma of lacking key technologies and innovation. Cao Jianlin, Deputy Director of the Education, Science, Health, and Sports Commission of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, once said, "Although we have made a lot of progress, we are still a latecomer in many high-tech fields. The technology industry can be divided into leaders, runners, and followers. In most fields, China is still a follower, and there is still much for us to learn

Regarding this, Gao Xingfu, Vice Governor of Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, mentioned at the opening ceremony of the 5th China Robot Summit on May 10th that the demand for artificial intelligence market is huge, and the promotion of robot applications and industrial development cannot be separated from innovation and creation, core technologies, and the support of industry university cooperation and school enterprise cooperation. Accelerating the development of the artificial intelligence industry urgently requires core technological support for innovation and innovation, as well as the integration of industry and academia. Taking university enterprise cooperation as the starting point and industry university research application as the link is a good opportunity to create a new model for the development of the artificial intelligence industry.

In fact, only through high collaboration, frequent communication, and cooperation between schools and enterprises, promoting the linkage between government, schools, and enterprises, as well as the integration of industry, academia, and research, can we occupy the high ground of independent innovation, create a convergence point for industrial integration, and create new highlights for the artificial intelligence economy. In 2014, Harbin Institute of Technology collaborated with Wuhu Robot Research and Development Co., Ltd. to establish a new type of research and development institution that combines industry and academia, integrates robot technology, equipment manufacturing, sales, industrial technology, and information consulting. This successfully sought the intersection of industry demand and key technologies, promoted the transformation of scientific research achievements, and gave birth to new industry growth points.

It is reported that in recent years, Zhejiang Province has also jointly established provincial-level enterprise research institutes with universities and enterprises to build practical platforms. This has not only accelerated the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, but also focused on breaking through key robot technologies and talent limitations based on the integration of industry and education. Currently, good results have been achieved in technologies such as visual recognition and language recognition in the field of artificial intelligence. Collaboration between enterprises and universities can not only enhance the integration of industry, academia, research, and application, but also promote talent cultivation through new achievements in industrial and technological development. It can build a bridge for cooperation and exchange, and construct a new type of smart education ecosystem. It is a win-win situation that combines technological and scientific research needs, with complementary advantages.

Our company has been deeply involved in the industry for 15 years by jointly building industrial platforms with universities such as Nanjing University. We have achieved material self-produced production, broken through foreign technology blockades, significantly reduced cost, and achieved complete independent intellectual property rights. In addition, we have also reserved a large number of professional talents through cooperation. We not only have professional technology, but also professional talents, "said Bai Xiaolong, CEO of Dalian Ekno New Materials, when sharing his experience.
